Sedation Dentistry

Are you fearful of dental visits? Many patients experience dental anxiety because of fear of dental procedures, a past negative experience, or a dislike of injections. No matter the reason for your anxiety, we'll help you overcome it. Our dentists offer calming sedation methods that have been proven safe and effective through years of research and use.

Sedation dentistry has helped millions of people just like you experience stress-free dental care. Dr. Remmers will discuss your concerns and fears to determine the type of sedation that's right for you. We offer:

• Nitrous Oxide - Known as laughing gas, this soothing sedation method is inhaled through a comfortable nasal mask. The gas causes feelings of warmth, comfort, and safety. Upon removal of the mask, the effects of nitrous oxide subside, so you can return to your normal routine immediately.
• Oral Sedation - As an oral sedation patient, you'll take a calming, commonly prescribed sedative prior to your dental treatments. Please have a friend or family member transport you to and from our office, for your safety. Once you're comfortably seated in a treatment chair and in a state of complete relaxation, your dentist will perform your dental work. Sedation dentistry allows Dr. Ken and Dr. Steve to potentially complete several procedures in a single visit, which saves you time and lets you complete your dental work in as few appointments as possible. The calming effects of oral sedation diminish gradually following your treatments. Normal activities can typically be resumed the evening of your appointment.

It's never a good idea to neglect your smile. If you've put off dental care, now is the time to achieve your best smile with sedation dentistry.
